Pit finally became playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Pit is able to shoot light arrows that can be slightly directed, and is also able to break his sacred bow of Palutena into two blades for some up close combat. He can jump multiple times like [[Kirby]] or [[Meta Knight]], and can also [[Gliding|glide]]. Pit is voiced by Minami Takayama in the Japanese version. Pit's neutral special move in this game is [[Palutena's Arrow]], which lets him shoot an arrow that he can direct. His side special move is called [[Angel Ring]], which is an attack that spins his bow and deflects projectiles. Pit's down special move is the [[Mirror Shield]], which allows him to reflect any attack, even moves like Sonic's Spin Dash. However, Pit is still vulnerable to attacks from behind. Finally, his up special move is the [[Wings of Icarus]], which allows him to briefly fly. [[Pit]]'s Final Smash, [[Palutena's Army]], summons [[icaruspedia:Centurion|Centurions]] to attack opponents.
 
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Pit.png|200px|thumb|left|200px|'''Pit''''s snapshot in the Subspace Emissary.]]
In the Subspace Emissary of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Pit joins the story early in the game. He was watching the fight between [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] at [[Midair Stadium]] when he sees the devastation of the [[Subspace Army]]'s [[Subspace Bomb]], and is sent by [[Palutena]] to go assist the other heroes in defeating the Subspace Army. He hurries down to the world, so he can help the other defeat the Subspace Army. He lands on a spot near the [[Halberd]], and has to fight [[Primid]]s and other Subspace enemies that are appearing. He also finds [[Mario]], transformed into a trophy. He awakens him and the two team up. They soon witness [[Fox McCloud]]'s [[Arwing]] chasing after Halberd.
 
Upon reaching solid ground, they find the [[Ancient Minister]] carrying another Subspace Bomb, but they were unable to reach him, and he gets away. What happens next depends on which princess was rescued.
 
[[File:MarioPitLinkTrophy.png|thumb|200px|left|Pit and [[Mario]] catch their breath after defeating [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]].]]
If [[Princess Zelda]] was rescued, Pit destroys the [[Dark Cannon]] that [[False Zelda]] is about to fire at [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]], and subsequently fights her with Mario. They are then attacked by Link and Yoshi, who have mistaken False Zelda as the real Zelda. Otherwise, if [[Princess Peach]] was rescued instead, then Pit and Mario are instead targeted by [[False Peach]], who was defeated by Link and Yoshi. Pit and Mario then end up fighting them as well. In both variants, the outcome is similar; the team who defeated the fake princess also defeat the other team, who gets snatched up by [[King Dedede]]'s [[Cargo]]. However, [[Kirby]] arrives and revives the defeated team from their trophy forms. Then either Pit or Link blows out the Cargo's engine and all five go after Dedede.
 
Pit and the others track Dedede down to his castle, but upon entering, they find the throne room in ruins. They explore a nearby cave and eventually find [[Bowser]] getting away with the princess that wasn't rescued in the beginning. Pit fires an arrow Bowser, but this only causes a [[badge]] that the princess was wearing to fall off. Bowser escapes to the Halberd.
 
Pit and the others eventually find the Ancient Minister again, this time in [[the Wilds]]. After chasing him for a period of time, the [[R.O.B.]]s intervene and detonate the Subspace Bomb that the Minister had been carrying. Pit and the others escape from the blast and reach [[the Canyon]], where they fought hordes from the Subspace Army and meet other heroes. They were eventually joined by even more fighters before entering [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]], where they met defeat by [[Tabuu]].
 
Fortunately, King Dedede had designed badges (including the one Kirby ate) to revive fighters from their trophy forms after a set amount of time. With [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]] by his side, Dedede rescues Pit and most of the others, while Kirby saves the remainder of the team. They then explore [[the Great Maze]] before reaching Tabuu for their final battle.
 
====''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''====
[[File:PitSSB4.png|thumb|left|100px|Pit's artwork for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Pit (SSB4)}}
Pit returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', though he is now be voiced by Anthony Del Rio, his voice actor from ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. While part of his moveset is the same as in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', such as [[Palutena's Arrow]] (now named Palutena Bow, as it is known in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''), all of his other special moves as well as his [[Final Smash]] have been replaced, mostly to reflect his appearance in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. His side special has been changed to the [[Upperdash Arm]], which causes Pit to dash forward and uppercut opponents, and his down special is the [[Guardian Orbitars]], which puts up a pair of shields to defend Pit on both sides. His up special is the [[Power of Flight]], which gives Pit a brief burst of height. The gliding mechanic has also been removed from the previous game. His Final Smash has been changed to the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], in which he dons the treasures and attacks with light arrows.
 
In addition, by quickly using Pit's down taunt on the [[Palutena's Temple]] stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', it triggers his smash taunt, [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]], in which Pit, Palutena, and [[icaruspedia: Viridi|Viridi]] appear and talk about one of the opponents, similar to [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s [[List of Snake's codec conversations|codecs]] in the previous game.

*'''Snake''': Angels. Give me a break!
*'''Otacon''': I dunno, maybe he's from a different species. But those wings on his back and those mysterious weapons he has are the real deal. He may look young, but he's a veteran warrior. Watch yourself. He used to be a weakling, but countless trials over the years have toughened him up.
*'''Snake''': And by trials, you mean, "Game Overs"?
*'''Otacon''': Yeah, you should know all about that.

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''Pit''': Wait a sec! Is that...me?

*'''Pit''': You're awfully calm about this, Lady Palutena!
*'''Palutena''': Well, we've been through a similar situation in the past. Don't you recall?
*'''Pit''': Yeah, but it's still freaky. It's like looking through a twisted mirror! That reminds me. You know how Dark Pit came from a mirror? Then why doesn't he move left when I move right, and vice versa?
*'''Palutena''': Beats me.
*'''Pit''': But you're supposed to know everything! Don't you have an all-seeing eye and an all-knowing brain and all that?
*'''Palutena''': My all-seeing eye sees you getting hit.
*'''Pit''': Oh, man, really?
*'''Palutena''': I'm sure the true Pit would triumph over any doppelgänger. So I guess now we'll see if you're the real deal!
*'''Pit''': I meant to ask you about one more thing. Have you noticed that I can kind of fly on my own a bit?
*'''Palutena''': Actually, it's called jumping, Pit.  Sorry to be the one to break it to you.

==Trivia==
*Pit made a cameo appearance in one of [[9-Volt]]'s games in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' where the player had to tilt the [[Game Boy Advance]] to move Pit away from enemies the [[icaruspedia:Eggplant Wizard|Eggplant Wizard]]s would throw at him.
*Pit also appears in one of 9-Volt/18-Volt's microgames in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', "[[Opening Night]]", where he plays the cello.
*In Pit's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' trophy, the last sentence in the description is "Will Pit ever fight again?". This was seen by some players to be a hint towards his playable role for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
*In the game ''[[wikipedia:Glory of Heracles|Glory of Heracles]]'', a reference to Pit is made, in that, when the player chooses a name, one character suggests that their name be "Pit", then another saying, "That doesn't sound Greek."
*Pit's redesign from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was re-used in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] developed by [[Sora Ltd.]], who also developed ''Brawl''.
*Unlike the other fighters, Pit isn't seen on his own Final Smash trophy.
